Intersting that it took 6 years to get to court ...
When the lawsuit was first filed in 2017, it challenged the paperless voting machines that Georgia was using at the time. After Georgia purchased the current system in 2019, the case shifted to those voting machines, saying that they also have vulnerabilities.
In June, a nearly 2-year-old redacted report was finally made public by Totenberg, showing that Dominion voting machines had significant vulnerabilities, which led the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to issue a public advisory last year based on the findings.
The report was completed in July 2021 by University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman with Professor Drew Springall, of Auburn University, and focused in part on vulnerabilities they found after examining Dominion’s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices for three months, according to the Associated Press.
The report was completed on behalf of the plaintiffs in Curling v. Raffensperger and found the Dominion machines are vulnerable to vote flipping, NBC News reported.
Halderman suggested that the machines were capable of being manipulated in mere minutes by bad actors, saying the QR codes on printed ballots could be altered and malware installed on individual machines “with only brief physical access,” according to the report. The broader voting system could be attacked if bad actors have the same access to it as certain county-level election officials, the report also concluded.
